How are pedophiles rehabilitated? Could their condition somehow be successfully cured?
In:
They have some cutting-edge programs in other countries, but have basically found that no, you can’t cure it, but you can, in some cases, get them to not act on it.
Similar if you compare it to someone that is a recovering alcoholic, they are never NOT an alcoholic, they can only not drink. So it is possible, in some cases, through therapy and treatment, to have someone with pedophilic urges not act on those feelings, but it has to be forever managed.
(I am NOT comparing being an alcoholic to being a pedophile – merely that they are both not “curable”)
